As the main executive department in our
public school system, the superintendent’s office
has numerous responsibilities. Seeing that the
policies of the Board of Education are carried
through is tlie principal job of Dr. Steven N.
Watkins, superintendent, and his two assistants,
Min. Gravce Elliott, who serves as his secretary,
and Miss Laura Sayre, who works for Dr. Wat-
kins and does secretarial work for the Board
of Education.
The purchase of all school supplies, from
typing paper to those familiar text books, as well
as instructional services and operation and
maintenance of the school building, is handled
by this office. Supervision of the nine Ames
schools is carried out through their respective
principals.
“In discussing the problem of whether or not
to hold any public forums this year, a group
representing the several service and other local
agencies decided to have one forum and bring
to Ames some outstanding personality,” l)r.
Watkins stated. ‘ Robert St. John was selected
and his topic was “Dictatorship or Democracy.’
The forum was held Sunday afternoon, Feb. 15,
and approximately 800 people attended. The
program was thought to be quite successful and
a similar policy will be followed next year,”
concluded Superintendent Watkins.

Also sponsored by this office was night school,
which was offered for three sessions. Included
on this program were metal working, plastics,
woodworking, commercial training, home eco-
nomies, and photography. Headed by Everett
Hit land, director of adult education, the various
activities were conducted by several people.
Miss Madalene Canvin taught shorthand with
Mrs. Mvrna Green teaching typing. In charge
of woodworking were Laurence Simmering and
Ronald Easter. Miss Edna Mundt supervised
the home economic classes, assisted by Mrs. Mary
Welch. Miss Dorothy Dillan, Miss Ella Mae
McDermott. Miss Dorothy Merrick, and Miss
Gladys Olson. Richard Trump was in charge
of photography.
Highlight of the year for Superintendent
Watkins was his tour through various sections
of tin United States. One of ten Iowans chosen
for this trip, he toured Chicago, Detroit, and
New York. The group visited industry and big
business to find out the things a high school
student should know when he graduates.
Because of the executive abilities of Dr.
Watkins and his office personnel, Ames schools
continued to function smoothly and efficiently
throughout the school year.I. M

Principal Adams
Everyone knows that it is Mr. Herbert Adams
who supervises the public address system every
morning. However, not everyone realizes that
the rest of his numerous duties keeps him busy
before and after school hours. Supervising and
arranging schedules of approximately 480 stu-
dents. 32 teachers and many different classes
plus making out a yearly calendar require many
hours before school starts in the fall. Once
school begins he takes over as administrator and
advisor to become a combination backer of the
school. His genuine interest in Ames High’s
curricular and extra-curricular activities was
shown by his loyal support of all school func-
tions during the school year of 1947-1948.
Because the principal's office is the heart of
Ames High, it is always a busy place. Through
this office passes all of the work that needs to be
done to keep the school running smoothly. Regis-
tration is carried out through this office each
November and March when students decide what
subjects they will take the following semester.
All schedules are kept here to help teachers,
students, and the office locate students during
the day. The weekly calendar is compiled by
this office from lists turned in by the teachers.
Any conflicts are brought to the attention of
the teachers so that the schedule may be re-
arranged. Attendance is kept for each period
throughout the day here, and any contacts with
the public are made.
A good share of these tasks fall upon Mr.
Adams’ two able secretaries and receptionists,
Mrs. George W. Berglund, better known as
Margie, and Mrs. Merrill L. Finnerty, also
better known as Selma.
Completing the principal’s office staff are
several junior and senior girls. It is their duty
to gather attendance slips from the classrooms
each period and record absentees. They act as
general messenger girls throughout the day by
delivering passes and messages to students as
well as to teachers. They also make out and
deliver those famed blue slips to students, and
aid the two secretaries by typing letters and
filing records. For the services the girls receive
one-quarter credit per semester to aid in the
necessary requirement for graduation.
Assisting Mr. Adams with high school ad-
ministration duties are Miss Charlotte Nelson,
girls’ adviser, and Everett Ritland. boys’ ad-
viser. Their duties consist in part of approving
absence and tardy excuses and directing voca-
tional guidance work.

The Ames Board of Education’s chief duty
is to serve as a governing board and adminis-
trative group for the Ames public school system.
The members of the board are elected for
three year terms in March, and they are stag-
gered so that there will always be experienced
members on the board. A secretary is appointed
by tin- board for each year, and a treasurer is
elected every two years. The board meets on
the second Monday of each month in the high
school building.
Keeping the nine public schools of Ames run-
ning efficiently entails much planning. This
group is responsible for the handling of the
budget and approving all financial matters
concerning the schools as well as deciding gen-
eral school policies. The school board is also
responsible for the placing and supervising of
over one hundred faculty appointments.
Members of the Board of Education are Kay
Cunningham, president; Frank B. Howell,
secretary; Hiram Munn, treasurer; Mrs. James
Johnson, N. J. Brintnall, Frank Adams, and
Dr. J. I). Taylor. Dr. Taylor was elected in
March to replace the late Dave Edwards, veteran
school board member for eighteen years.

the extra-curricular and class activities and to
develop businesslike characteristics in the stu-
dents.
Each treasurer i responsible for bis set of
records to Miss Mary McNally, general treas-
urer. and to her student assistant. Joanne
Bappe. When an organization needs money, the
treasurer tills out a requisition, enters it on bis
books, and takes the requisition to the general
treasurer. There the amount is recorded on a
dupl icate set of books and the check is written.
Much credit should be given to Andy Christen-
sen. student athletic treasurer for three years,
and to his sponsor. D. G. Martt. for keeping
athletic accounts.

Soph-mores! Soph-mores! This familiar
chant heard all year long as bewildered sopho-
mores made continual blunders in the hall,
assemblies and after-hours' parties describes
the former Welch and Central students.
Starting out in the fall by lendimr strong
reserves to the varsity football squad, the sopho-
mores gave both physical support and student
cooperation to both home and out-of-town
games. Bob Buck, the extra point specialist
and defensive quarterback. Dick Cox. dim
Champlin and Mark Sowers earned their first
major A ' for their participation in varsity
games. The sophomore team won four of seven
games, but the prospects for the next two years
of football are very encouraging.
In basketball Bob Buck led his class by being
the only regular starter for every varsity
game. A thrilling swisher made by Buck in the
last second of the home Ames-Newton game gave
the Ames fans something to remember. This
shot will not be forgotten by Ames High and
also the Newton team, but his cooperation with
the team throughout the whole season and his
well-aimed one handed push shots will be seen
in Buck’s remaining two years in Ames High.
Losing a heartbreaking game to the Marshall-
town sophomore squad by a score of 20 to 32,
the potential Little Cyclone varsity squad tied
for first place for the Central Iowa Conference
sophomore title. Throughout the season Dick
Cox led his teammates in play and took high
scoring honor by piling up 184 points. Working
with Cox were dohn Brayton, Don Arnev. Dave
Bappe and Mark Sowers to make up the usual
starting five.
On tin humorous side Bill • Zombie Busbec
caused continual uproar wherever lie went by
his unusual wit and jokes.
The sophomore girls also contributed to the
first year of high school history for the sopho-
more class. Betty Lou Jones, the only girl in
the swing band, kept up with the other members
bv playing a mean saxophone. Ruth Dahl piano
soloed in the spring orchestra concert playing
Concerto in (i Minor. The high soprano voice
of Robert (iillpatrick was heard in a cappella
choir and various school dances.
Supporting the youth center, uniting their
efforts in their school work, participating in all
school activities and becoming a stronger class,
the 1947-1048 sophomores have indeed stood up
to Ames High’s motto, Ames High. Aims High
- and they, too, are aiming higher.

New students and teachers bounced over rutty
roads and stumbled tip a dark narrow path over
tree roots and bridges to Lynn Fuhrcr Lodge
to be guests of the Student Council, the Ili-Y
cabinet and the (!irl Reserve cabinet at the
traditional Newcomers Party last September 23.
The annual event is planned so that new
students will become familiar with Ames High’s
traditions and become acquainted with the
members of the three groups and their sponsors.
To begin tin- party, which started at seven
o’clock, each new student introduced himself
and told where he came from. George ('lark, a
Fourteen
member of t lie Hi-Y cabinet, served as master
of ceremonies for the program and introduced
the speakers. Darrell Moore, president of Ili-Y,
and Anne Barnard, president of Girl Reserve,
welcomed the new students to Ames High. Ray
Cunningham, secretary of the Y.MCA at Iowa
State college, led group singing. Musical chairs
and several other games provided an opportunity
for new and old students alike to really let
their hair down” and become acquainted with
each other. To conclude the evening, the Hi-Y
cabinet served refreshments of milk, cookies, and
ice cream.m

This year boys and girls interested in film
projection and operation formed the Film
Operator's Club. Cnder the sponsorship of
Kenneth Page, this newly organized club takes
care of presenting sound films, film strips, slide
and opaque projectors, records and radio aids.
Although the main jobs of the thirteen mem-
bers who belong to the club are to handle re-
cordings and movies and to operate films as a
service to all classes, it is also their duty to see
that all movies are shipped out properly and
on time.
Each day the visual aid room is set up for
the day’s program, schedules are checked and
requested equipment is distributed to teachers.
Then during the day. the members are excused
from their study halls to operate the equipment.
New film operators receive their training by
observing the different procedures used in oper-
ating the films and records as experienced work-
ers run the machines. Next they do the actual
work by themselves under close supervision.
After several weeks of this training the new
operators are given permission by Mr. Page to
work by themselves. Being able to do this work
qualifies each member for a lfi mm film oper-
ator’s card from the Bell-IIowell Film Company
of Chicago.
Working on a paper drive held last fall with
the music organizations, the Film Operator’s
Club received enough money to purchase a new
tape recorder which is being used to record
music programs, talks given in the speech de-
partment and various assemblies. A program
of 30 minutes may be recorded on one tape strip.
The officers of the elub for 1047-1048 were
Loren Wymorc, president; Jack Dunlap, vice-
president; and Ted Myhre, secretary-treasurer.

Cubs' club, Ames High school’s journalism
organization, is offered as an extra-curricular
activity to sophomores, juniors and seniors who
are not taking the regular journalism course
offered in the senior year. Through this organi-
zation underclassmen become accustomed to
journalistic style and have some knowledge of
newspaper publishing before actually enrolling
in the journalism course offered in the senior
year.
During the first semester of this year the club
worked on projects to help them learn the
fundamentals of writing good straight news and
feature stories. One of these projects was the
collection of newspaper stories and attempting
to analyze why these stories were good or bad
by using good stories as a comparison. n find-
ing a good example of news or feature writing,
the student chose another subject and tried to
adjust the general plan of the model to his topic.
The club held monthly meetings to acquaint
members of tin organization with journalistic
techniques. In the fall a luncheon was held in
the faculty lunch room in place of a regular
meeting.
After completing this work, the club’s main
project was to write and edit the Weekly Web
during the first weeks of the second semester
before tin new journalism class began publish-
ing the weekly newspaper.
The crowning achievement for a Cub is win-
ning recognition as a reporter for the W b. After
ten inches of his material has been printed he
is added to the staff as reporter. Several (bibs’
Club members became Web reporters during the
second semester by this means.
Another project of the journalism class dur-
ing the second semester was a high school pres-
idential election. Information concerning candi-
dates was posted in the library for several weeks
preceding the polling.
The main purpose of the club is to give stu-
dents a glance at journalism before they decide
whether or not to take it as an elective course.
Miss Charlotte Nelson, journalism instructor,
serves as Cubs' club sponsor.

dent Council was host to high school student
councils from all over Iowa.
The council is comprised of nineteen members.
Each of the school's eighteen homerooms sends
its president to represent it on the council. The
nineteenth member is the student body presi-
dent. who presides over the council’s weekly
meetings and represents the whole student body

“Let's go down to the center was that after-
hours' call to nearly three-fourths of Ames
I hull's students in the 1947-48 school year.
Through the efforts of the governing board and
the Cyclone Center members, the center was
almost completely reorganized after being evict-
ed from its original location.
“The Banner Ball ’ was the name of the
informal dance sponsored by the Cyclone Center
in February. Decorations were figures repre-
senting the four parts of school that appear
on the banner in the study hall. They wen
scholarship, friendliness, music and athletics.
The hundred couples that attended the affair
danced to music of the Ames High Swingsters.
The field house was acquired and a project
of cleaning and painting was begun. Volunteer
help made this plan possible. The O'Neil Dairy
started the project of equiping the building by
donating a new ice cream freezer and soon the
center purchased a fountain, counter, steel
tables and chairs and a radio-phonograph sound
system. In the field house the center was not
only able to offer ping pong, dancing, cards and
table games, but basketball, volleyball and bad-
minton as well.
Though the center was plagued with financial
worry through most of the year, its members
were able to ease the need by raising money
through a magazine subscription campaign,
rummage sale, donkey basketball game and
dance. Various local organizations contributed
in time and money to aid the center in its
operation.
The center was not only a place for recreation
but also served as a place where new friendships
were started and old ones renewed.
Running the Cyclone Center is carried on
by the governing board made up of the chair-
men of the eight committees, the general board
chairmen and one representative each from
Welch and Central. The board consisted of
Anne Cooper and Mr. Keith Rushing, finance;
George Carter and Mrs. J. B. Robbins, employ-
ment; Nancy Butler and Mrs. J. C. Everds,
decorations; Dick Swank and Mrs. Harn

.Speaker
“The Life Abundant—at home, in the school,
and in the community’ was the theme chosen
for the 1948 Friendship Week by the Ili-Y and
Girl Reserve cabinets with their sponsors.
Chaplain De Loss Markon, of the Veterans’
hospital in Des Moines, was this year’s Friend-
ship Week speaker. During the war he served
as chaplain of the famed 34th “Red Bull” divi-
sion through the African. Sicilian and Italian
campaigns.
The first week of February was chosen as
Friendship Week. February 1 was designated
as “Go-to-Church Sunday” and all high school
students were urged to make a special effort
to attend church. During that week a general
assembly was held on three mornings and the
Reverend Mar ken discussed one phase of the
abundant life on each morning. Both the Hi-Y
and Girl Reserve cabinets cooperated to furnish
devotions and music for these assemblies, and
parents of Ames High students were invited. A
sophomore forum, a junior and senior girls'
forum and a junior and senior boys’ forum dur-
ing which student problems were discussed were
also held during the week. Special emphasis was
placed on the opportunity for students to have
personal conferences with the speaker.
Chaplain Markon, through his understanding
of young people, his good judgment, and his
inspirational talks, gave to Ames High school
a memorable Friendship Week which will not
soon be forgotten.

Sot only did Hi-V extend its activities
throughout school and community, but it went
half-way around the globe to help someone in
need. The organization's major project during
the year was the supporting of Jacques Aufrey,
a French war orphan. At Christmas time the
Hi-V sent .Jacques a complete suit of clothing
to supplement those that were sent to him earlier
in the year.
During the year such Friday morning pro-
grams as movies, talks by Hay Donels and by
sportseaster Jon Hackett were featured in the
hobby groups and general meetings. Sponsor-
ship of the three class firesides was handled by
Hi-V cabinet.
Hi-V took upon itself the task of making a
bit of Christmas cheer for the men at the Story
County Home. The organization prepared pres-
ents and baskets of fruit for 1 he men at the
home.
In conjunction with the (!irl Reserve organi-
zation. Ili-V sponsored Ames High’s annual
Friendship Week in February. The object, of
this week is to promote religious activity in
life. This year’s speaker, De Loss Markcn, a
former army chaplain, proved to be very suc-
cessful.
Any organization must have its administra-
tive force and so must the Hi-V. The first
semester cabinet was made up of Darrell Moore,
president; Dick Fincham, vice-president; Dave
Larson, secretary; Wayne Brown, treasurer;
George Lidell. publicity; and John Dickinson,
concessions chief. Second semester cabinet in-
cludes Dick Fincham. president; John Drayton,
vice-president; Frank Vance, secretary; Wayne
Brown, treasurer; George Lidell, publicity; and
Howard Siemens, concessions chief. Everett
Ritland, boys’ adviser, served as sponsor for
the Hi-V.

tricts which were all canvassed by salesgirls.
The girls also sold special Ames High pencils
with the athletic schedules printed on them, and
they had charge of concessions at two basketball
games.
Theme for the semi-monthly meetings of the
whole Girl Reserve organization was “G.R. Goes

Cnknown to most of the Ames High students,
the school library boasts a collection of 6,851
books, a number to which more are constantly
being added. Teachers often find new books
they think would help their students in research
work and in this way suggestions for new books
are given to the librarian.

into ten divisions. Different classifications are
pasted over the various shelves to guide the stu-
dent when he is looking for a book.
Not only books on social and natural sciences,
fine arts, literature, fiction, biography, history
and many encyclopedias and references, but also
58 different magazines can be obtained in the
library. The magazines are of the technical and

The junior class of ‘48 has a lot of fruitful
memories to look back upon. The year was filled
with events that will long In- re me inhered. At-
tention can be focused on several juniors who
were outstanding in many and varied ways.
Taking a share of the limelight was little-'N-
mightv Ramon Runkel, with his football prow-
ess. Ramon also teamed up with Page Arnold
to hceome a very speedy combination on the
track field, dim Robertson proved his ability
in track by taking two ‘•firsts. the shot put
and the discus, at the annual Drake Relays, dim
also stood out in football, as did Hob Hall. Dick
Hall and Perky Lidell, first team varsity bas-
ketball stars, performed smoothly on the basket-
ball courts, while in another sport, golf. Dick
Webber took top honors.
The girls, however, were not to Ik outdone.
“And how about the little moron who cut off
his arms so he could wear a sleeveless sweater.
brought to mind Sheila Moore, and her never-
ending supply of jokes. Susan Tilden and Salle
Cole were elected as two of the ten finalists for
Spilt it Sweetheart. A leading role in the Dra-
matic Club play was played by Rev Summers,
in the part of a wilful old woman. Nancy But-
ler and Debby Munn were elected president and
vice-president, respectively, of Girl Reserve.
Juniors who served on stage crew for the
class play will recall the laborious process of
“gooking the tree used on the set. Another
task was that of fastening real apples to the
tree. However, this seemed simple compared to
the bigger problem of fastening the leaves to
the branches!
The crowning point of the year for both
juniors and seniors was “The Big Show. bet-
ter known as the Junior-Senior Prom, which
was held this year on June first. The theme for
the dance was a circus, and the gym was appro-
priately decorated. Sideshows and animals were
to be seen everywhere to carry out the idea.
The band was seated in a sawdust ring, and
another ring was used for intermission enter-
tainment. The whole junior class cooperated
effectively to make the affair a success.
Altogether, the juniors are looking forward
to a happy and eventful year as almighty seniors.

Assemblies tor the year are planned l y the
Assembly committee of student Council under
the direction of Everett Kitland. The croup
aims to provide a semi-monthly program which
will be of interest to all students. Programs are

cuit. with 234 following closely on their heels.

Top attention of the year was centered on the
girls' intramural basketball tournament which
was won by senior homeroom 237 in the A
league and junior homeroom 113 in the B
league. Homerooms 138 and 213. respectively,
were the runners-up. Other tournaments were
held in baseball, volleyball, badminton, tennis,
ping pong and bowling.
Starting last fall with a picnic held at Brook-
side Park, G.A.A. opened a larger program this
year than in any previous year. G.A.A. is open
to any girl in high school who can fulfill the
initiation requirement of 100 points acquired
by participation in organized sports, skill tests,
leadership, unorganized sports and by complet-
ing the health charts. Four points are given for
each hour of participation. After a girl has been
initiated, she is eligible to earn the minor “A”
and the major “A which are earned by 500
and 1.000 points respectively of activities. When
a girl has earned 1,500 points, she receives a
black and orange felt dog.
In order that more girls could take a part
in the organization this year, a representative
was chosen from each homeroom to represent
her room on the council. This enabled more
girls to become members. A recognition board
chose an outstanding girl of G.A.A. each month
to be the “Girl of the Month.” These girls
were chosen because of their interest in the club,
their attitude, school activities and their per-
sonalities.
Officers for the year are Marilyn Beckley,
president: Verna Belle Rouze, vice-president;
Susan Tilden, secretary; Margaret Taylor,
intramural chairman; Pebby Munn. point re-
corder ; and Janet Hoff, social chairman. Spon-
sor for the group is Miss Opal Robinson.

Confronted with the fact that he had no
returning basketball lettermen. Coach Ken Wells
spent much of the cage season teaching funda-
mentals to his raw recruits. The 1947-48 edition
of the Little Cyclones won five games out of
sixteen regularly scheduled contests and gained
a berth in the state basketball finals at Iowa City.
The team finished in a tie for last place in
the Central Iowa conference with Newton. The
Little Cyclones managed to eke out two one-
point triumphs over the Cards to give them a
league record of two victories and eight losses.
Other wins came at the expensi of Nevada twice
and Webster City. Ames also played non-loop
foes Port Dodge, Mason City, and Sioux City
(Central) to round out the schedule.
The squad showed many spurts of fine basket-
ball during the season, but due to the difficulty
of finding a winning combination, defeat was
tasted often.
Sophomore Hob Buck led the scoring race by
totaling an even 100 points in Ifi regular games.
Behind him were Dick Hall, 74 ; Dave Koch, (»1 ;
Darrell Moore, 59; Bob Stewart. 39; George
Lidcll, 3(i; Jack Grant, 23; and Dick l llestad,
20. The rest of the tally making was done by

Before the start of tournaments teammates
selected Darrell (Lefty) Moore, senior forward,
as honorary captain for ihe season.
With such a mediocre record, the Little
Cyclones were expected by the fans to go down
in their first tournament game, but with a spirit
that is worth twenty points every game the
locals won their district and sub-state tourneys,
qualifying for the finals in Iowa City. Coach
Wells deserves much credit for developing such
a great bunch after many discouraging losses.

In spile of the interest developed in athletics,
music and extra curricular activities, the greater
part of Arnes High students’ time is spent in
the classroom, learning to he wise citizens of
tomorrow.
Initiated this year was a new type of home
economies course called Boys' and (liris' Home
Be and designed to instruct future husbands and
wives the proper way to run a home.
Chemistry students buckled down to under-
standing the atomic theory as well as balancing
bewildering chemical formulas this year. Quali-
tative analysis occupied the last six weeks period,
and for most of that time the odor of hydrogen
sulfide became familiar to other students as it
wafted through Arnes High's hallowed halls.
The various mathematics courses called for
much racking of brains and gnashing of teeth.
Sophomores were introduced to a maze of circles
and triangles in plane geometry, while juniors
and seniors sweated out more complicated prob-
lems in second year algebra, solid geometry and
trigonometry.
Social science classes instructed juniors about
American history and senior's about American
government. Sociology and economics completed
this phase of work.
Another vital part of the Ames High cur-
riculum was the vocational guidance program.
Early in March the annual career day was held.
Besides an opening session, over fifty speakers
★ What i it. an?
representing varied occupations spoke to small
groups about job opportunities. Senior voca-
tional conferences were also held during the
year. Senior girls met with Miss Charlotte Nel-
son and boys with Everett Kitland. The results
of various aptitude and achievement tests taken
in high school were shown to the seniors and
possibilities of occupations were discussed.
With a view toward tomorrow. Ames High
students, guided by helpful teachers and ad-
visers. completed a successful year of learning.

When tin basketball season is over and sprint
comes around the corner what does the young
man's fancy turn to? Certainly not love so it
must be golf. Late in March the golf enthusiasts
begin wandering out to Homewood and if one
listens he can hear a booming “Fore!”
Playing host at the Little Cyclone Invitational,
the golf team captured second in a field of the
best teams from central Iowa. The squad coach-
ed by Kay Smalling. went through a better than
average year taking matches from Marshalltown
and Boone. Roosevelt whacked off a few strokes
less than Ames to put the local boys in second
place at the Lincoln High Invitational.
Homewood golf course was the stamping
ground for Smalling’s golf men. Like the ten-
nis squad the interteam competition was strong
for a place on the traveling squad. Practice
sessions were spent in determining team posi-
tions on the basis of performance.
Five seniors, one junior and a sophomore
carried the main responsibilities for the squad
in competition. They were Bill Hull. Jerry
Johnson. Jim Aikman, John Taft. Jack Grant,
Dick Webber and Don Platt. Reserve compe-
tition kept the varsity squad on their toes
throughout the season. The reserve squad was
made up of Don Kelly, George Branigan, Don
Beam. Bob Anderson, Bill Ohlsan and Wallace
Wright.
Having only one letterman returning, Ames
High’s tennis squad went through a year of
preparation and building. Coach Don Hartt had
fifteen men vicing for the five positions on the
squad. Losing five of the scheduled six dual
meets the racketeers defeated only the West
High of Waterloo squad. Roosevelt of Dos
Moines humuliated the Little Cyclones 5-1 and
8-1 while East of Dos Moines followed the same
pattern and defeated Ames 5-1 twice. Fort
Dodge defeated the Little Cyclones in the single
dual match with them 5-1. The district and
state meets completed the schedule.
Intersquad matches were played each week to
determine team standings and as a result the
number four and five positions changed as often
as the weather.
Bill Hukill went through the regular season
undefeated and was the only Ames squad mem-
ber to take a match from Fort Dodge, Roosevelt
and East. The tennis traveling squad was made
up of Hukill. Tom Earl, Bud Winfrey, Marshall
Sclarow, John Fitzsimmons. Mark Sowers and
Dick Hall. These reserves backed up traveling
squad: Diek Swank. George Peterson. Bernie
Clark, Bob Allbert. Andy Christensen, Norman
Robinson, Boyd Clausen and Bob Walser.
New nets, and a resurfacing job on the west
court plus new lining on all the courts gave
them that well groomed look for this year.

membership in the Ames High Varsity club.
One of the most important Varsity «-lui proj-
ects this year was assisting the faculty with
ushering at all home athletic contests.
On the lighter vide is the initiation of new
members. There are two initiation periods, the
first following the football season and the second
after the completion of the sports schedule in
the spring.
First-year lotterwinners in football were re-
quired to play a basketball game with tin senior
members of Pep club between halves of a home
basketball game, in spite of being handicapped
by heavy sheepskins, boxing gloves, long under-
wear and shackled legs, the Varsity club initiates
came out on top. Besides this rigorous activity,
all new members were required to gain the
signature of each old member by repeating the
preamble to the Varsity club constitution.
In the spring. Varsity club members cele-
brated with their annual picnic at Homewood
golf course. Lotterwinners in basketball, track,
golf and tennis were initiated then.
Officers of this years organization were Jack
Grant, president; ('lair Calhoon, vice-president;
Dave Murray, secretary; Forrest Barnes, treas-
urer; and John Garfield, historian. Kenny Wells

Late in May the Fire Squad members, with
their dates, held the annual Fireman’s picnic
which was financed by the money they took in
from personal tines. Softball and plenty of food
were the featured attractions.
Keeping the halls clear of obstructions such
as paper, “mislaid books, or stray students
kept Fire Chief Jack Grant and his secret ser-
vice busy throughout the year. Other duties
include supervising fire drills and guarding the
doors to our hallowed halls before regular horn's.
Fire Squad members are on duty before school
in the morning, at noon, and after school to
keep the halls in an orderly condition. The
squad issues those red warnings to violators of
the rules of order, and for their thankless job
members receive activity tickets to all school
events. Seniors are exempt from regular duties,
but fill in as alternates during the absence of
underclassmen.
Members of the squad are chosen on recom-
mendation of the faculty and approval of the
members of the squad. Their dependability,
willingness to cooperate with the faculty and
students and general character arc taken into
consideration when nominations for membership
are made. Fire Squad meets each Thursday noon
to discuss the general operation of its duties.
This year’s organization was led by Jack Grant,
fire chief; Dave Murray, assistant fire chief;
and Darrell Moore, secretary-treasurer. Miss
Ruth Miller served as sponsor.

Fun and food! Those were the two things
most responsible for making tin annual senior
pienie a complete success! Besides this gala
event, seniors were busy with various other acti-
vities throughout senior week.
.Inst when to put what foot where and how
soon was the problem of all seniors as they
practiced their marching “P’s and QV in pre-
paring for baccalaureate and commencement.
The class of '48 had Dr. Will Orr. Friendship
Week speaker in 1047. as their commencement
speaker. Baccalaureate speaker was Reverend
Joseph Knutson.
Seniors of 1948 were well prepared for some
good reminiscing. And the memories of Ames
High school days could hardly bo forgotten.
Crammed with imports, dramatic productions,
musical events. Red Cross activities (baby sit-
ting. especially!) and all of the other activities
which make school life three, unbeatable years—
the seniors of ‘48 had a full high school life.
Celebrities of the class of '48 included Janet
Hoff, clarinet soloist at the spring concert; Bev
Peterson, champion baton twirler at the state
contest; and Mary Pierre and Esther Chi vers,
winners of a four-year scholarship and a college
entrance award, respectively .from the Pepsi-
Cola company. Janet Miller was chosen Spirit
Sweetheart with Anne Barnard and Rosie Iver-
son as her attendents. Football captain was
senior Bob Stewart while Lefty Moore captained
the basketball team. Track co-captains were
Forrest Barnes and John Angle.
On June 4. 1948, they reached the end of their
high school career, but the memories of each
special event, each personal experience could
never be forgotten. The Spirit would always
prevail.
